With problem-detecting sensors, wireless connections, cloud-based security and real-time navigation, it’s easy to think that the high-tech features in today’s hot rides are all electronic. That, however, would be overlooking some of the most remarkable technologies that are making cars safer, quieter, less expensive and more fuel efficient. Yes, digital technologies might dominate headlines, but behind the scenes, industrial chemists are making the good life possible through innovations in paints, coatings, sealants and textiles.
It’s important to know because these products significantly improve the performance and life expectancy of new cars and trucks while giving drivers an experience that keeps them coming back for more. There are all types of polymers used in vehicle design, however this article focuses on water-based emulsion polymers which are latex products found in many forms throughout the automotive design. They are in places you can see and places you cannot. Emulsion polymers are a critical component in high-tech automotive manufacturing.
Aside from body style and engine performance, trim packages are what make the cars we love lovable.Stain-resistant carpets, custom floor mats and paneling are a big part of those trim packages. In fact, automotive textiles are a key part of the overall design of a vehicle and can be found not just in the cabin but throughout the vehicle. Some examples of automotive textiles are molded,nonwoven fabrics that provide an upscale finish in the trunk, hood liners that protect exterior paint and reduce noise, and stiffener panels that add strength and rigidity.
Ever wonder how carpets and upholstery can look new for so long – even after numerous spills of drinks and food? Thank chemists for the excellent water, oil and solvent resistance built into today’s automotive textiles. Many automotive textiles use high-tech coatings and binders formulated using styrene-butadiene and styrene-acrylic emulsion polymers to provide these performance characteristics.
The ability to customize polymer emulsions to a wide variety of applications is one of the attributes that make them so appealing to manufacturers. Hood liners, for example, are designed with high glass transition temperature (Tg) polymer emulsions to create a barrier for extremely hot temperatures coming off the engine block to protect the paint on the hood. The same type of high Tg polymers allow nonwoven fabrics to be custom formed to a trunk interior and retain the required shape to meet vehicle specifications set by the manufacturer.
